That's cool :-) I CC Kami who would no doubt love to help out / mentor you for a GSOC project around this over the summer. Kami (CC'd) is on the FirefoxOS team and also an old-time LibreOffice contributor. I -believe- the plan is for FirefoxOS-next to implement Bluetooth APIs in Javascript [ or somesuch magic ] which is being worked on, possibly Kami can help get you some pointers there (?). > At the moment the app only allows connecting to Impress and moving > forward by one slide.

Arguably repeating the experience of the physics in the coverflow widget would not be so great for switching slides ;-) I'd love to see that changed to need a scroll + tap to switch slide on Android even... > For testing it is easiest to use the Firefox OS Simulator, which is a > Firefox (browser) plugin -- this needs to pointed at the sources in > firefoxos/sdremote.

No idea how that stuff is packaged, but if we can add a Makefile that creates a package of some kind, then I guess ( since this can be built on any platform) we could encourage the Android tinderbox to up-load that :-) > Screenshot of app in Simulator + Console attached.
